Abstract

Against the backdrop of a seismic shift in the relations between the OPP and the executive, this chapter seeks to provide a glimpse into the history of the chapter nine institutions since their inception, with the intention of providing a sense of their trajectory and the politics that has inevitably accompanied their evolution.
